Why We Created This
So much of life with autoimmune disease happens between appointments.
That's often where the questions, the worry, and the quiet second-guessing live — in the long stretches between visits. You shouldn't have to face that part on your own.
You might gently recognize some of this:
Leaving appointments with more questions than there was time to ask.
Not feeling quite sure what your labs or your medications really mean.
Sifting through conflicting advice online, unsure what's safe to trust.
Wondering what sets off your flares — and wishing someone had time to explain.
Feeling alone with something the people around you don't fully understand.
Wanting to care for yourself proactively, but not knowing where to begin.
If any of this feels familiar — you're exactly who we made the Remission Circle for.
A Gentle, Steady Kind of Support
The guidance your appointments never had time for.
The Remission Circle is a calm, trustworthy place to keep learning between visits — real rheumatology, explained simply, by physicians who do this every day, alongside a community of people who truly understand. No overwhelm, no pressure. Just steady support as you move, at your own pace, toward remission.

Questions, Answered
Frequently asked questions.
What is The Remission Circle?
The Remission Circle is a physician-led autoimmune community and education membership from Rheumatologist OnCall. For $47/month you get weekly educational materials, an on-demand lecture and PDF library, written Q&A with our team, and a monthly live webinar with our three rheumatology-trained physicians — plus a private community of people living with the same conditions.
Who is it for? Do I need a diagnosis?
It's for anyone living with — or worried about — an autoimmune or rheumatic condition who wants to truly understand their health. A formal diagnosis isn't required to take part — many join while still searching for answers. Members include people with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, Sjögren's, gout, and more, as well as those with a positive ANA or unexplained inflammation who want clarity and direction.
Is this medical care or treatment?
No — and this is important. The Remission Circle is education and community, not medical care. Its content and written answers are general education, not individualized medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a physician-patient relationship. For a diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan, you'd start our clinical Care Pathway. Many members do both: clinical care for treatment, the Circle for ongoing learning and support.
How is this different from being a patient at ROC?
As a patient, you receive individualized diagnosis and treatment from your physician. The Circle is the education and community layer that runs alongside that — it fills the space between appointments with learning, answers, and support, at a fraction of the cost of clinical care. You can be a member whether or not you're a patient.
What happens in the monthly live webinar?
Each month we announce a defined topic in advance so you can prepare and submit your questions. Then our physicians go live for an hour to teach and answer member questions — Dr. Titianu on lifestyle, hormones, and menopause; Dr. Devalla on gut health; and the team on understanding your labs and how your medications actually work.
What autoimmune conditions do you focus on?
Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and axial spondyloarthritis, lupus, Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma, vasculitis, myositis, gout, and related inflammatory and autoimmune conditions — the full scope of rheumatology, taught by rheumatologists.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Membership is month-to-month and you can cancel anytime. Founding members keep their $47/month founding rate for as long as they stay subscribed.
Is it worth joining if I already have a rheumatologist?
Absolutely — many members do. Your rheumatologist treats you in short, periodic visits. The Circle gives you the deeper education and ongoing support that no appointment has time for, so you walk into your visits more informed and get more out of them.
How do I join?
Choose monthly or annual on this page, and you'll have immediate access to the community, the full library, and the next live webinar. Founding members keep their rate as the community grows.
